Hitting the bends correctly is taking a lot of practice.  It's all been fun. 

I will keep working on this one until the bends in bars 4-6 are better, but at least it's recognizable as the same solo Griff is playing.    ha.   
Every lesson so far has been doable but challenging and requiring a lot of practice. 

BGU is just what I was looking for.

Nice first shot at soloing WIT! Onward and upward!

I recently bought Griff's Ultimate Blues jam tracks and have been playing with this solo in various keys and feels, which has been a good experience. It has been nearly two years since i revisited this solo lesson, so it was nice to find that it came back to memory pretty quickly. I liked it with the "4 way intersection" backing track (similar to Crossroads feel) and this one called "free milk and a cow" (similar to keep your hands to yourself).

You have come a long way since your original post in this topic almost 2 years ago- in playing, tone, and recording quality. Well done.

I am working on this one now and you have set the bar pretty high

Wow WIT, great progress. You can tell time has passed and lots of practice with it. It's smooth, clean, and in the pocket. Bends are also clean and on pitch. Nice work! Its really interesting to compare our old recordings and hear the progress. Thanks for posting the update.

Nice snapshot and great to hear the comparative confidence between the two recordings. Thanks for the listen..

That was very cool, WIT! I really like the way you actually "used" the solo and made it your own over a different backing track. Really well done!
